The Unfairness Of Disparity Of Caring

we sat in silence whilst driving towards the cityon the south eastern freeway; headed for the stationthe plan: for her to catch a V-line train from Flindersthat would take her back home to the country

the red setting glare turned my view to squintingas I watched the time on the dashboard clock tickkeeping in mind I couldn't afford making her latebut days like this for a while I have been missing

bend by bend we looked upon an orange horizonthe understanding mutual between us of keeping quietwhilst we were silent the radio -turned up- playedand we soaked in the setting sun of another Sunday

during the ride I decided to try and recollectthe events of the last two and current weekendsthinking of the fun we had but what message I'd sentwondering how this came about for such lack of intent

neither of us mentioned of our obvious thinkingabout how far this kissing interest may runor dared to state the evolving, complex natureof what late last night and this morning was done

after parking the car I walked her up those stepsand we laughed at our final kiss and the awkwardnesssaid our goodbyes, farewells and I left her therewhen she realised she'd cared more than me, I was aware;

in her heart and mind our departure would seem unfairand for me: I might not find such niceness and honesty again
